Jeremiah 1:6-10
Lexham English Bible
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.”[a] 7 But Yahweh said to me, “You must not say, ‘I am a youth,’[b] for to whomever[c] I send you, you will go, and whatever[d] I command you, you will speak. 8 Do not be afraid of them,[e] for I am with you to deliver you,” declares[f] Yahweh. 9 Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and he touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me,
“Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, I appoint you this day over the nations
and over the kingdoms,
to pluck up and to pull down,
and to destroy and to tear down,
to build and to plant.”
